How to Deceive a Duke by Lecia Cornwall

Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.

I was intrigued by the basic premise of this book (younger sister is engaged to a duke, but she runs off so the dutiful oldest sister takes her place and marries him to save the family name and fortune instead). However, there was too many things in here and I found myself thinking several times during my reading: where exactly is this all leading to?! I think it would have been better had the mistaken identity plot lasted a bit longer, we dropped the mystery around his dead brother and left the mistress behind.

Also, I didn’t care at all for the drugging so you can get an heir storyline

I generally feel like my time was wasted, especially since it’s almost the end of the year. Finding out how this book ends from other reviewers confirmed for me that I don’t need to be wasting any more precious time on this particular book.
